DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Alper Sinan Akyürek\, ASELSAN\n\nTopic: &quot;Optimal 
 Control in the Smart City&quot;\n\nLocation: Middle East Technical University\,
  Ankara\, Turkey\n\nAbstract: Once a dream\, currently a massive reality\;
  the Internet of Things is here\, and it is growing. In such a massive con
 nected  environment\, developing scalable\, dynamic and adaptive engineeri
 ng solutions is of utmost importance. With recent advancements in communic
 ation and computation\, the IoT space contains a multitude of heterogeneou
 s connected nodes with various sensing and computational capabilities. The
  current design paradigm must be adjusted to leverage the current distribu
 ted computing capabilities\, while adhering to the constraint of scalabili
 ty. This talk presents an optimal framework for a specific IoT space from 
 the energy perspective: The Smart City. The framework contains four compon
 ents. At the core lies a novel\, scalable and distributed middleware consi
 sting of small computational engines called the “context engines”. The
  context engines leverage a novel model generation algorithm capable of ge
 nerating analytic models with adjustable accuracy. A novel communication c
 ontrol algorithm provides an optimal flexible solution for interconnectivi
 ty. The whole system is then used by a novel optimal distributed nonlinear
  energy control algorithm. Although the solutions are designed for the sma
 rt city environment\, the core concepts are general enough to be applied t
 o the other IoT spaces.\n\nBio: Alper Sinan Akyurek is currently a Senior 
 Software and Design Engineer at Aselsan Inc. His current work involves the
  design of custom\, robust\, wireless solutions for military applications 
 at multiple layers and the implementation of these solutions on embedded p
 latforms. Dr. Akyurek finished his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engine
 ering at the University of California\, San Diego\, and obtained his M.Sc.
  and B.Sc. degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Middle Eas
 t Technical University in 2017\, 2011 and 2008\, respectively. After his P
 h.D. he continued his work as a PostDoc at UCSD\, and before\, he was work
 ing at his current company. He currently has 20 publications and 3 patents
